Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most dramatic views of the flight, specifically focusing on the expansive Fort Peck Lake and the complex network of the Missouri River breaks.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
💧

Yellowstone River

Aerial perspective of the longest undammed river in the contiguous United States winding through the valley.

🏜️

Missouri River Breaks

Intricate badlands and eroded coulees surrounding the Missouri River corridor.

🌊

Fort Peck Lake

The massive expanse of Montana's largest lake, featuring over 1,500 miles of shoreline.

🏗️

Fort Peck Dam

An engineering marvel visible as a massive earth-fill structure at the northern end of the lake.

The Missouri River crossing is the scenic peak of this route. Ensure you have your camera ready approximately 20-25 minutes into the flight for the best views of the reservoir and dam. Morning light is particularly striking over the water.

Left Side Highlights
7.1
⛰️

The Billings Rims

Unique sandstone cliffs that flank the northern edge of Billings, visible immediately after departure.

🌲

Bull Mountains

A rugged, forested island mountain range rising out of the central Montana plains.

🌾

Judith Basin Vistas

Distant views of the Big Snowy and Judith Mountains against the vast prairie horizon.

Look out the window shortly after takeoff to see the geological transition from the Yellowstone Valley to the high plains. On clear days, late afternoon flights offer the best silhouette views of the western mountain ranges.
